Waitlist And Email Ops

Purpose

Plan waitlist collection without collecting unnecessary personal data.

v0.1 should run as public preview plus waitlist plus invite-only beta. The waitlist is not a broad global signup promise; it is the selection layer for early builders who can validate the Space, data, privacy, app, and agent mental model.

Baseline

Collect minimal email and intent data.
Link to privacy readiness before public waitlist.
Avoid importing private address books.
Keep unsubscribe and deletion request handling simple.
Segment by user intent only when useful.
Explain that invite-only beta access is scoped and manually reviewed.
Do not collect payment, payout, tax, or sensitive connector data from the waitlist.

Segments

Segment	Why it matters
Builder	Self-serve product validation.
Creator	Public Space and template workflows.
Team	Collaboration, permissions, and private Spaces.
Investor / partner	Fundraising and strategic conversations.
APAC / China interest	Regional readiness signal.

Invite-only Beta Prioritization

Priority	Persona	Why they fit	Screening signal
1	Indie hackers / AI builders	They understand agents, workflows, micro-apps, and distribution.	They can describe a real Space or app they want to build.
2	Developers / GitHub users	They can test manifests, templates, SDKs, and runtime boundaries.	GitHub profile, repo, OSS, or devtool workflow.
3	PKM / data-sovereignty users	They care about ownership, export, delete, structured data, and local-first posture.	Current use of Obsidian, Notion, Airtable, Baserow, or local data tools.
4	Solo founders / technical creators	They need to run many workflows with little team overhead.	Product, launch, roadmap, investor, or customer workflow pain.
5	Later cohorts	Small teams, agencies, app builders, privacy-focused prosumers, and enterprise pilots.	Clear pilot scope and support expectations.

Access Sequence

Stage	Email posture	Product posture	Do not promise
Public preview	Collect interest and role.	Public demos, screenshots, docs, and waitlist.	Hosted private accounts, paid marketplace, global signup.
Invite-only beta	Manually select early users.	Scoped private preview and feedback loops.	Automatic access, automatic revenue share, enterprise compliance.
Curated builder program	Invite builders by app/Space fit.	App/Space/template submissions with review.	Universal app submission or unsupported payout regions.
Selective paid early access	Invite only after value signal.	Manual early access or pilots.	Fully automated billing, tax, entitlements, refunds, or payouts.
